    First episode is awful. Scripted, low effort, hateful. Every interview subject seems to be in on the script. They did a great job with the makeup at least

    I miss when his humor was apolitical. It's much harder to laugh when there are real lives being affected by some of the issues he's poking fun at. Sorry Sacha, try again.

    difficult to find any entertainment value in this exercise of taking advantage of people's good will.

    Could of been epic if the trolling went both directions....but like all of Hollywood......it's decidedly lefty-Lucy and therefore feels lopsided and somewhat predatory.

    Little more than a Borat clone.

    It’s funny, outrageous, broad--and scary. Some of the material is gratuitous and crude, for sure. ... But most of the show is remarkably on point.

    If the figure is guided by skepticism, as in the case of Sanders, the segment transforms into an endurance test of tried patience. When the subject reveals weakness and vanity, then the way forward is clear for Baron Cohen to agitate and produce savage satire.
